A woman who's a dead ringer for Jim Carrey says her face is limiting her career prospects.
Heather Shaw, who has been dubbed the "female Jim Carrey", says people often mistake her for the Hollywood actor's sister owing to her uncanny resemblance and ability to mimic his comedic expressions.
But she reckons her familiar mug would make certain jobs impossible.

In a viral video on TikTok, she said she explained why she could never be a doctor, for instance.
She said: "It is kind of ironic that I have this face and I always want to be a comedian since I was a kid, you know.
"Like, what else am I gonna do? Imagine if I was a doctor with this face, you know, just walking in like…"
Smiling just like The Mask star Carrey, she adds: "Bad news! It's cancer! Good luck!"
Viewers instantly thought of The Dumb and Dumber actor, with one asking: "How do you look so much like Jim Carrey?"
Another said: "Your eyes, head shape and eyebrows are literally identical! You need to be in a movie with him."
"You're absolutely his twin. You can't convince me otherwise," a third added, while a fourth gasped: "You're Jim Carrey in long hair!"
Heather thinks her smile is to blame for the comparison.
In other videos, she has dressed up as Ace Ventura, one of Carrey's most famous characters.
Viewers have also been hashtagging "JimCarrey" hoping the actor will notice Heather.
"We need this account to go viral so Jim gets wind of it!" a fan commented.
A second said: "It's not even just the face, it's the manner and the expressions. It's uncanny!"
Heather, however, doubts the actor has a clue who she is.
